Local minima in quantum systems
Finding ground states of quantum many-body systems is known to be hard for both classical and quantum computers. Consequently, when a quantum syste…

Universal relations and bounds for fluctuations in quasistatic small heat engines
The efficiency of any heat engine, defined as the ratio of average work output to heat input, is bounded by Carnot’s celebrated result. However, …
Dynamical activity universally bounds precision of response in Markovian nonequilibrium systems
The exploration of far-from-equilibrium systems has been at the forefront of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, with a particular focus on understandin…
